Amazing Podcast!Even from just listening to the first episode, I am already excited! Music is a huge part of my life but it has become such an eye opener that in reality, I really don't know that much. I've started an Ap Music Theory class in school a few weeks ago, and I can't believe how much I don't know. I've had so many light bulb moments it's astounding! I love the fact that this podcast is available to all and yet still provides so much information. It's truly amazing to see people so dedicated in music. Congrats to the Musical-U team for a job well done!

Good idea and great podcast!First of all, wanna congratulate Christopher because of this show's start. I've been reading MusicalU during this year and this is amazing resource for musicians.
Second. About The Musicality Podcast. This podcast is something intimate for because...it's my first podcast I've ever heard! I didn't realy like radio/audio/podcasts with talks before. But this is a good experience to listen this show. I like Ep.2 and Ep.4 (didn't hear Ep.6 yet). I like that people who've done huge work on themselves give us information abot their way. And this is truly amazing, because of it's honest and truth. It's really have inspiring effect. Very motivational!
Thank you for your podcast, Christopher and hope you could gain more episodes and more listeners in future.

Connects me musically even when I can't practice!The podcasts address so many diverse topics that an aspiring student encounters. I have found it a source of great practical information in itself as well as sharing with listeners amazingly useful resources. Also, Christopher Sutton's recaps of the podcasts are so clear and succinct! I find that when life's pressures prevent me from practicing my instrument, my musical yearnings are kept alive by these podcasts. For me they have been a tremendous source of realistic encouragement.

Great source of inspiration!I find all of the episodes really worth watching - of course they won't do the work for you but they are always inspiring. Whenever I feel like I'm stuck in my development I just have a listen to a whole episode or just a part of it when I don't have a lot of time and it keeps me motivated (or allows me to change my habits and refresh my way of thinking). I would say the one about the solfa is a must-watch for anyone!

"Stick-to-it-iveness"Listening to this podcast (Ep. 2) makes me realize how much of music is psychological. I have often thought that I can't do "this" or "that" because it's too hard. This self-defeating attitude limits my growth as a musician. If I can just stick to it, it will come, no matter how slow progress may be. I just need to let go of my negative mindset. Thanks for a great episode. I look forward to hearing more.

I love this show.So far I have especially loved the episode about playing from a lead sheet. I had always thought of lead sheets as cheat sheets before but now I'm seeing them more as a learning experience and I find that exciting.
